Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

Rong Shuang came in from the outside, even though it was early in the morning, it was hot after all, and she just walked around casually, and she was sweating all over her body.Seeing her enter the room, Qi Yu greeted her and brought her a cup of herbal tea, saying, "Sister, drink tea."

It is said to be herbal tea, but it is slightly cooler than ordinary hot tea.It should be noted that their maids are not allowed to eat raw, cold or hot food, so as not to make mistakes when serving the master.Even so, after drinking a bowl of tea, I still feel refreshed.She took a rest with the tea bowl in her hand, then looked into the East Nuan Pavilion and said, "Master hasn't got up yet?"

Normally at this time, the Queen Mother would have stood up and combed her hair long ago.Today I don't know why, but I still haven't got up.

Qi Yu and others also felt strange, but no one dared to go in and ask a question.Originally, the Eastern Empress Dowager trusted Yuan Chun the most and went to Jixue, but now that Yuan Chun has become the new Emperor's concubine Xiande, she is probably worried that Concubine Xiande seldom associates with the Eastern Empress Dowager.Another one, Jixue, was gifted by the Lin family because of Ze to serve the Lin family's head of Fushou County.It is not yet known whether Jixue will come back to that person whom the Empress Dowager puts on top of her heart.Apart from these two, no one else could have the courage to teach Dong Tai and then reuse three points.

What's more, the temper of the Eastern Empress Dowager is completely different from when she was the Empress back then.

Qi Yu said: "I leaned against the door and listened, but nothing happened."

Rong Shuang nodded, and said again: "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager Dong said that she wanted to use fresh fruits and vegetables. I just went to the dining room to talk about it, and my face was still the same as before. It's just that although the words were coincidental, I didn't see them doing things. .In the end, the world has changed, and today is different from the past."

This is a sigh for the master, and a sigh for myself.What is the picture of being a slave?If you are still young and active, you must still want to climb up.Even if the emperor looked down on him and went to the favored concubine, that was good luck.It's just that these maidservants have rested their minds early in the morning.When the former Supreme Emperor was the emperor, although the Eastern Empress Dowager did not favor the sixth palace, the Supreme Emperor gave her some dignity.Who would have expected that now, in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, there is no one else in his heart, only the Empress Dowager West.

Qi Yu also said: "Why not, the monthly silver delivered by the inner treasury a few days ago is lighter than the previous ones."

She felt it as soon as she got it in her hand, but she couldn't find their fault when she wanted to find out.The money given by the internal treasury was originally the empress dowager's share of money, a lot of money, but not much.Originally, he was concerned about the status of the Eastern Empress Dowager, and the extra share was considered filial piety from the servants.Now that filial piety has gone to others. Although I am angry, I only blame myself for not living up to it. How can I find faults in others.

"I'm afraid that the days to come will be even more difficult..." Rong Shuang said this very softly, but it was a sincere sentence.The clothes that the concubine wears, the things that are used for meals, and the jewelry on her head are all definite.Those who never saw the emperor, never raised a princess or a prince, live a tight life, even worse than the face-worthy maids, everywhere.If a favored concubine with a high status is meant to live with a share of money, even though she has no worries about food and clothing, how can she maintain that brilliance?The piles are all silver.

When the two were staring at each other speechlessly, they heard a cough from inside.The two hurriedly got up and stood on both sides of the palace gate, Rong Shuang asked in a low voice: "Master is awake?"

After a while, I heard the voice inside: "Come in."

At that moment, the door of the palace was wide open, and the two of them led two rows of eight maidservants in. When they arrived at the bed of the Eastern Empress Dowager, the eight maidservants held towels, copper basins, etc., and stood on both sides with their heads bowed.Rong Shuang and Qi Yu stepped forward, one left and one right, and raised the bed curtain.

Qi Yu laughed and said, "Master sleeps well today."

The Empress Dowager stood up stroking the long hair at the back of her head, and said in a low voice, "I haven't slept so well for a long time." The chaos in the palace yesterday became a good medicine for her to sleep.

After rinsing her mouth and cleansing her face, the Empress Dowager sat in front of the vanity mirror.The face in the bronze mirror is indistinct, and there seems to be a smile on the lips of the Eastern Empress Dowager.Rong Shuang waved her hand, and ordered the maidservant to wait out, and went forward to get the jade comb, and combed the bun for the Empress Dowager. "My master is very happy to see it today."

The masters are happy, and they feel relieved when they serve.You don't have to be careful all the time, lest you say a wrong sentence.

The Empress Dowager took a smear of lip balm, and slowly spread it on her lips.The lip balm is extremely bright, and Pian Dongtai's back is extremely white, and it looks extraordinarily charming after being painted on. "I haven't seen the queen for several days, Rong Shuang, invite the queen to come over with breakfast."

There was laughter in front of the back hall of Shoukang Palace, but it was the Lord Fushou County, the Lord Canji County, and the eldest daughter of Shangxue's family who were kicking Yuyan [1].A circle of little maids surrounded the porch, counting and laughing at the same time.

Just in time for Princess Xian of Qi, Murong Zhengxiao had breakfast and came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.I saw her from a distance, but she didn't say anything, but the maid behind her murmured: "There are no rules, after all, she is a girl outside, and she doesn't know the etiquette in our palace. The empress dowager also yelled like this in front of her, Not to mention that there was an accident in the palace."

She spoke presumptuously, but Princess Qi Xian did not reprimand her.Still with a smile on his face, he said in his mouth: "How do you know that this is not what the Empress Dowager meant?"

It is not an ordinary person who can go to the empress dowager to curry favor with her.It should be noted that the Empress Dowager walked all the way to this position, who else has not seen it?That's all for the owner of Canju County, and the owner of Fushou County and the eldest girl from the Xue family, it's not necessarily that they are very outstanding, but the same, there must be.You must be extremely intelligent and have an exquisite heart.

There was an accident in the palace yesterday, but looking at the Forbidden Court, who really took that matter to heart?I'm afraid Zhou Yuling is the only one.As the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how could he be short of heirs?The empress has just entered the palace, and the next one, Concubine De and Zhaoyi, who can't raise a child?Who is less noble than Zhou Yuling?I'm afraid the Empress Dowager is used to such things.It's just an entertainment spirit, the empress dowager is not worth worrying about her.How to be happy, of course it is still how to be happy.

When Princess Qixian approached, all the servants in the palace bowed their knees to salute.Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai saw this, and they all turned around to salute.There is only one Princess Piancanju left, and she is about to reach the full hundred. After kicking this one abruptly, she throws away that Yuyan, and goes forward to salute.

Princess Qi Xian smiled and helped Princess Canju get up, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that you don't have me as an aunt in your heart, and you won't come to play with me after you enter the palace."

Princess Cangyu has always been on good terms with her, so he put her arm around her and said with a smile, "Girl, please forgive me this time, I was too playful and forgot."

While speaking, everyone hugged Princess Qi Xian and entered the room.At this moment the Empress Dowager was crouching on the soft couch asking people to rub her shoulders, Princess Qi Xian stepped forward to salute, and said: "The Empress Dowager please take care of me."

The Empress Dowager didn't cry out, she just waved her hands to make the people behind her retreat, and ordered Princess Canyu to say, "You guys are still going out to play, and you're having fun outside the house. I'm glad to hear that. Your Aunt Qi Xian hasn't come for several days. Now, let me talk to her, you don't have to accompany me."

"Yes." Princess Cangyu and the three of them withdrew again.

After leaving the gate of the palace, Princess Canyu just patted her chest and said: "Just now, the eldest princess Qixian went in, and the empress dowager is so solemn."

Lin Daiyu also said: "It seems that there is a danger on the face."

Xue Baochai thought for a while, then put Lin Daiyu's shoulders, and said softly: "The left and right have nothing to do with us. The Empress Dowager is also happy to see us playing with her, but she tells us not to worry about these things."

But he thought to himself, there was an accident in the palace yesterday, and Princess Qi Xian came to pay her respects today, there must be something interesting here.The Empress Dowager is so lukewarm, so what does that have to do with Princess Qi Xian?

After everyone went out, the Empress Dowager ordered Gui Lan to help Qi Xianchang Princess get up.Ziqing tea said: "I have time to come and see me today."

Princess Qi Xian couldn't help being anxious after what happened just now, she said in a low voice: "Qi Xian is only afraid that he will disturb the purity of the Empress Dowager, if not, it would be better to be with the Empress Dowager every day."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, and said: "I originally thought that the Empress Dowager Dong has nothing to do now, so you live with her and talk to her anyway. Looking at it now, I was wrong."

Just this one sentence made Princess Qi Xian startled.Not daring to sit anymore, stood up and knelt down on the ground with a puff. "Qi Xian knew he was wrong."

"It's ridiculous that the eldest princess of a country is so stupid!" The empress dowager stared at her with sharp eyes like sharp knives, which made people shiver.

"The Empress Dowager..."

"For people raised in the palace, whether they are outstanding or not is second to none. The most important thing is to learn to be smart." Although the Empress Dowager reprimanded her, her tone was still flat. "No matter how high the status of a stupid person is, he will still fall into a place of injustice. I just want to ask you, what good will it do you if you hurt Zhou Yuling?"

Princess Qi Xian didn't expect the Empress Dowager to be so angry, she shed her tears and sobbed, "Qi Xian just wanted to scare Zhou Yuling with that flute, he didn't expect Zhou Yuling to be so weak. Everyone in the palace knows that although my title is Qixian, my boudoir name is Zhengxiao. Everyone avoids it, but the maidservant next to Concubine Xiande is renamed Pinxiao. I take it out from time to time to ask people to listen, and to save my face. Where to put it?"

"Stupid thing!" The Empress Dowager threw the teacup in front of her when she heard her irrational words.The tea splashed and stained half of the skirt. "You lived with the Empress Dowager Dong. You didn't learn the good things about her, but you only learned the bad things! You are the eldest princess, but you can't even tolerate this? It's not your father who is sitting in that position now, bro It’s two different worlds for your son and father to be the emperor. But you want to cut off the flesh of your brother for the sake of face!”

Princess Qi Xian kowtowed while crying, repeatedly said: "Qi Xian knew he was wrong, the Empress Dowager will spare Qi Xian this time, Qi Xian will not dare again..."

"Even if I'm willing to forgive you, how can the emperor forgive you? It's just a name. Which of the maids in the palace hasn't changed it? Concubine Xiande is just a trivial matter whether she intends to or not. Even if you want to punish the servants, You shouldn't use Zhou Yuling as a raft! The emperor's heir is the most important thing! You don't know this truth, and you want me to teach you?"
